If you're coming from NLEX: Just ride a bus bound to either Baclaran, Ayala, or Alabang. Look for buses with "Cubao-Ibabaw" signage. Tell the driver to drop you off to Aurora Cubao.

Along Aurora Blvd. look for FX or jeeps going to either Calumpang, Parang Fortune, or SSS Village. They will all take you to Marikina landmarks like the Riverbank Mall, Riverpark, Marikina City proper, Sports Complex and the Marquinton Mall aka Blue Wave Mall.

Would appreciate if you could give directions 1) from Araneta, Cubao to the Church and vice versa; 2) from LRT Katipunan Stn to the Church and vice versa; and 3) from SM Marikina to the Church and vice versa. Directions provided both for public transport commute and through private cars would be very helpful to our guests. Many thanks in advance. -Monica

Monica, what you are asking is a little to complex to explain. We can only answer limited questions. You may visit the church and figure out the directions yourselves. Using Google Maps and your phones GPS would be very helpful. From LRT2 Santolan Station or SM Marikina, just walk for 5 minutes to Tayug. There you will find tricycles that will take you straight to your church. Congratulations on your wedding.
